FORMER Tranmere striker Enoch Showunmi felt massive relief after notching his first goal for Notts County in the 1-0 win over Oldham Athletic this week.

The tall target man was making only his fourth senior start for the Magpies since making the move from Prenton Park last summer.

“It was a few months of pent-up frustration that came out of me when the ball went into the net,” Showunmi said.

“It was just brilliant to get the start, I’ve waited a long time for it, and hopefully I’ve put that in the manager’s mind that I can obviously perform out there and hopefully he picks me for more games.

“It’s been frustrating, because I came here with personal goals but I’ve kept plugging away and kept my head down in training.

“The manager’s seen that I’ve kept a good level in training over the past few months and I’ve spoken to him and said that I am ready to play.

“I think I’ve shown that to him now, but I’m still not match fit so hopefully the more games that I do play, you’ll hopefully see a fitter and a better me.

“If I can keep scoring goals, then the gaffer will have no reason to drop me.”
